@punekarnews @Mumbai2PuneEway It seems the EV number on Fastag may not be connected automatically to the toll booth system. That’s what the toll officer said.

Electric Cars and E-Buses Get Toll-Free Access on Atal Setu, Pune–Mumbai Expressway, and Samruddhi Mahamarg punekarnews.in/electric-cars-…

@ians_india @Mumbai2PuneEway I checked with toll office. They said we need go to the RTO office to ensure that the EV number is properly registered, else it won’t be free! Anyone who knows what to do?!

Maharashtra government has granted toll exemption for electric vehicles on Atal Setu, Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and Samruddhi Highway from August 22 midnight

@Mumbai2PuneEway pls be aware, the annual toll pass did not work for Khopoli toll naka on eway yest. It is sad that now I am stuck with a 3000₹ payment. EV vehicles, govt ann. as exempt but still bng charged. Hope govt @CMOMaharashtra @nitin_gadkari @MMRDAOfficial help

Week 4 now, toll charged for EVs on #atalsetu & oth toll plazas. When will you give instructions @MMRDAOfficial ? Violation of the hon. @CMOMaharashtra, @Dev_Fadnavis & @nitin_gadkari intent. Please help 🙏

Thanks to Hon @Dev_Fadnavis @nitin_gadkari Maharashtras EV policy is now in place. Mum-Pune eway still collecting toll from EVs. They say @MMRDAOfficial has not given instructions. This is Week 2 now, kindly help. CC @CMOMaharashtra #GreenMaharashtra #TollFreeForEVs #EVIndia

आदरणीय @nitin_gadkari जी, @Dev_Fadnavis जी, महाराष्ट्र सरकारची नवीन EV पॉलिसी अत्यंत दूरदर्शी विचारांची आहे – मनःपूर्वक आभार! पण अटल सेतुसह अनेक टोल बूथ EV वाहनांवर अजूनही टोल आकारतात. काही करता येईल का? @CMOMaharashtra @OfficeOfNG #GreenMaharashtra #EVMaharashtra

From when will the roads be toll free for EVs in Maharashtra ? इलेक्ट्रिक व्हिकल्स (EV) साठी टोल नाही असे जाहीर झाले. तरीही राजरोस पुणे मुंबई पुणे महामार्गावर आणि अटल सेतू वर टोल आकारला जातोय. हे गैर नाही का ? @MMRDAOfficial @CMOMaharashtra @DGPMaharashtra @nitin_gadkari

I'm teaching a new course! AI Python for Beginners is a series of four short courses that teach anyone to code, regardless of current technical skill. We are offering these courses free for a limited time. Generative AI is transforming coding. This course teaches coding in a way that’s aligned with where the field is going, rather than where it has been: (1) AI as a Coding Companion. Experienced coders are using AI to help write snippets of code, debug code, and the like. We embrace this approach and describe best-practices for coding with a chatbot. Throughout the course, you'll have access to an AI chatbot that will be your own coding companion that can assist you every step of the way as you code. (2) Learning by Building AI Applications. You'll write code that interacts with large language models to quickly create fun applications to customize poems, write recipes, and manage a to-do list. This hands-on approach helps you see how writing code that calls on powerful AI models will make you more effective in your work and personal projects. With this approach, beginning programmers can learn to do useful things with code far faster than they could have even a year ago. Knowing a little bit of coding is increasingly helping people in job roles other than software engineers. For example, I've seen a marketing professional write code to download web pages and use generative AI to derive insights; a reporter write code to flag important stories; and an investor automate the initial drafts of contracts. With this course you’ll be equipped to automate repetitive tasks, analyze data more efficiently, and leverage AI to enhance your productivity. If you are already an experienced developer, please help me spread the word and encourage your non-developer friends to learn a little bit of coding. I hope you'll check out the first two short courses here! deeplearning.ai/short-courses/…
